FREE STANDARD SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING
Helliemae's ships everything for free via the US Postal Service Priority Mail, with delivery confirmation, which usually takes 2-5 days. Right now, Helliemae's is tiny and ships a couple days a week; more frequently right before a holiday. (Owing to all the tiny, Helliemae's still only ships within the US. Sorry, France.) I'll send you an email with your tracking information the day your order ships - please watch for it, because all the careful packaging in the world can't countermand the effects of 4 hours in the sun!
And hey: one note. Helliemae's currently uses PayPal's shopping cart, but you do not have to have a PayPal account, you can just pay w/ a credit card. Ignore PayPal's attempts to funnel (bully?) you into paying with their service if you just want to use your credit card.
Oh, and a second note: are you in Denver? Do you want to pick up your order? I host Caramel Hours the third Thursday of every month - so if you want, you can pick up then!
Nine-Piece Boxes of Helliemae's Handcrafted Caramels
Helliemae's caramels are super dark, very intense and slightly bitter, for people who love intense flavors. Definitely a grown-up candy. New packaging: 9 BIG caramels in each box.
Mother's Day: Jasmine Tea Caramels $34
Another invention from the entirely fictional West Coast Caramel Labs. This caramel is the most delicate one available from Helliemae’s, and it seems perfect for Spring and Mother’s Day. Lighter in color than the other caramels (but still well in the sphere of Helliemae's dark intensity), these caramels have the floral perfume of a beautiful green Jasmine tea. The leaves are poached in cream, which is used to make the caramels. This particular tea has an earthiness that grounds it – sometimes Jasmine can be awfully floaty and ethereal, but this one is right here and now, and just gorgeous with the caramel. Available May 1-30.
Coming soon for Father's Day: Atticus Caramels $34
When I think of iconic dads, Atticus Finch is #1 on the list that comes to mind: steady and true, his moral compass always points due North, without any doubt. This Father’s Day caramel is inspired by things he loved (or should love): whiskey, smoke, and the warm comfort of a Southern kitchen. It all starts with Steen’s Cane Syrup. A vanishing artisanal product of the south, this syrup is molasses’ cousin, and is amazing on warm biscuits. Or, as it turns out, in caramel. The caramel includes bourbon barrel-smoked salt and sugar from Bourbon Barrel Foods (they actually smoke these over bourbon barrel staves!). And, of course, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. All these ingredients are produced with such care, and they make one hell of a caramel. Available June 1 - 30.When you check out, please leave a "note to seller" telling me which date between June 1 and June 30 you'd like these caramels to arrive by. Thanks!
Chili Palmer Caramels $29
Helliemae's dark butter caramels, tarted up with cinnamon + chili + salt. (The flavors'll hit you in that order. With roughly the velocity of a punch to the head.) Inspired by Valentine's Day 2012, this caramel is currently in a rivalry with Cardamom for my affections. News: because other people love Chili Palmers as much as I do, they are now on the permanent roster.
Classic Salt Caramels $29
Well, they're the classic - traditional deep, rich, buttery caramels accented with flaky, crunchy sea salt on top. The freshest salted caramels you've ever tasted.
Cardamom Caramels $29
Helliemae's intense butter caramels, with the addition of floral, exotic cardamom. A bit of sea salt in the caramels, but none on top.
Coffee Caramels $29
Deep, dark coffee permeates these caramels. A bit of sea salt in them, but none on top.
Assorted Caramels $29
A box with 3 each: Classic Salt, Cardamom and Coffee Caramels.

Salted Caramel Sauce $18
Super dark, slightly bitter. Salt of course. And a ton of cream. Great contrast over vanilla ice cream; even better over coffee. Current favorite: the salted caramel whiskey project. 8 oz glass jar.
